IGP Yohonu transfers police officers in leaked tape saga to 'sensitive positions'

The Inspector General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has made changes. He reassigned two senior officers, Superintendent Emmanuel Eric Gyebi and Superintendent George Lysander Asare. Gyebi will now work at the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) Headquarters. Asare has been moved to the Judicial Protection Unit.

These officers were involved in a leaked tape. The tape revealed a plot to remove former Inspector-General Dr. George Akuffo Dampare. Their behavior during a parliamentary investigation raised concerns about their professionalism.

The parliamentary committee recommended disciplinary action against them. However, some view their reassignment as a promotion instead of punishment. They have been placed in sensitive positions within the police service.

This decision has sparked debate among police officers. Many question if it supports discipline and ethical standards in the force. Sources say there is significant discontent among personnel regarding this move.

Some officers feel this reassignment may suggest approval of their alleged misconduct. This could set a troubling precedent for accountability within the police force.
